Abstract

In this paper, we consider all possible variants of Choi matrices of linear maps, and show that they are determined by non-degenerate bilinear forms on the domain space. We will do this in the setting of finite dimensional vector spaces. In case of matrix algebras, we characterize all variants of Choi matrices which retain the usual correspondences between kk-superpositivity and Schmidt number k\le k as well as kk-positivity and kk-block-positivity. We also compare de Pillis' definition [Pacific J. Math. 23 (1967), 129--137] and Choi's definition [Linear Alg. Appl. 10 (1975), 285--290], which arise from different bilinear forms.
